With 26 Character Updates, Flutter is Twitter's Mini Me

Now that Twitter's popularity has reached critical mass, parodies and mock businesses like Flutter will start to lampoon the ubiquitous microblogging site.

Implications - The relevance of social media and microblogging sites like Twitter is unmatched in today's culture. Businesses and other websites that capitalize on this relevance through humor or other means will see huge consumer interest from the masses who are all invested in the new wave of social media.
